Well hiring process is pretty straight forward , HR reaches out and lays out the job description , salary and then give you assessment questions that are reviewed by hiring manager who then interviews you , second interview is with you future colleagues and that’s it .
**Issue - no scope for negotiation or no opportunity to get considered in a senior support role . Salary offered is not competitive

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2022
Interview
The first call was with a recruiter who gave me a quick rundown on the company and role. A follow-up interview was scheduled a week later with the hiring manager but the manager didn’t show. I contacted the recruiter and they said there was a mixup, another call was scheduled a week later. The call with the manager was mostly behavioral based questions and listed 1.5 hours. A follow-up interview was schedule for a week later with Tier 2 and Tier 3 support to ask technical questions. That call last just over an hour. A third interview was scheduled two weeks later with two Tier 1 agents to do more technical questions and that call lasted an hour. All of the calls went really well. I never heard back from the recruiter after that interview and my email/calls were ignored. Outside of the whole process taking over a month I’d have to say it was pleasant. I wish I had more information about why they never contacted me again.
